Paying the Minister.

Elder Blodgett was one of the old
timers WHO used 10 preach in town
in the southeastern part of the ter
ritory. On week days he carried on
prosperous livery stable business.
There was a good deal of competi-
tion between him and the Justice
of the Peace on marriage ceremo-
nies and they had cut the former
price of $l3 down to a much small
er figure. One day young couple
who lived down on the bottoms
were married by the elder. After
the ceremony the groom acknowl-
edged that he hadn't cent and ask
ed the elder to trust him till fall,
"Ill tell you whatTl do" replied
the minister, "you an yer wife Jes'
agree to drive around town a little
while carryin' sign advertisin' my
business, an I'll call it square,"
They agreed to it, and in a few
minutes the blushing bride and
proud groom were riding about the
streets up on high seat in lumber
wagon, bearing aloft a canvas sign
reading as follows :.
"We was spliced by the Reverend
Elder Blodgett, and we like his
style. Cost $2-cheapest Place in
town. Study located at Red Front
Barn. Pay no attention to justices
or other side isshers, but go right to
the Elder for your marrying! Money
cheerfully refunded in case of Di-
vorce. Oats, corn and Hay took the
same as Cash. Good Livery Rigs
always on hand. Also trade and
exchange Hoses. Come to the
Prayer Meeting Wednesday even

Tourists Handbook.

The Tourists Handbook, published un-
der the auspices of the Denver & Rio Grs nde
Railroad is an important adjunct to the
tourist, be he health or pleasure seeking.
In connection with most readable descrip-
tive matter the work in embellished with
number of very fine engravings, noticeably
among which is ga glimpse of Maniton and
Pixies Peak" Homes of the Cliff Dwellers'
The Royal Gorge, Black Canon'and 'Tem-
pie Square of Salt Lake City,"
Mr.. S, K. Hooper, the General Passenger
Agent of the Denver and Colorado, in his
Prefatio says
This little book is intended to give the
tourist information, and it does not aspire
to vivid description or the graces of fine
writing. 1t will endeavor to tell the travel
er what to see and how to see it, and to give
him as concisely as possible exactly the in-
formation he would naturally desire, SO that
he can employ his time to the best advant-
age and know beforehand what he should
see, how he can reach his destination, and
what accommodations he will find.
The Rocky Mountains are very little
known to the outside world as yet, and so
rapidly have they been open uponed up by
the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, and
SO enterprising have the people of the count
ry been in providing accommodations for
travellers and facilities for their enjoyment,
that this Company feels that it is due to the
people of Colorado as well as to the Colorado
tourist to issue, in as compact form as
practicable, handbook of this character.
With Denver as starting point, the
towns and pleasure resorts throughout the
State which are of especial interest to the
tourist, and which are within practicable
reach of the railroad, will be noticed. The
tourist can easily locate the places mention
ell in this book by inferring to our very ac-
curate and complete map which accompan.
les it. For full particulars as to train ser.
vice, the reader is referred to the regular
folder of the Denver and Rio Grande Rail
road Company.
This book can be gratuitously secured b.

Duty First-Party After.

In its most recent anti-convention bro
chure the Delaware Democrat says;
''The benefits resulting from the holding
of a convention and the adoption of the
amendments will be in favor of the Republi-
can party as those Democrats in favor OF
such measures will find out TO their cost if
they are successful at the polls.
We therefore call upon all true Democrats
to pause ere it is too late and consider
whittier ~
This Is a surprising statement. 1t is a
surprising fact not that our contemporary
should be the possessor of such Bourbon
ideas, but at it has the scandalous hardi-
hood to mt clean breast of them to the
public.
On the face of the matter, joining issue
with the Democrat upon its own assertions,
which we by no means coDcede to be trus IN
the sense of danger to our party, is it not
to obviously shameful that any respectable
journal will deny conceded good, right
eous demand, simply for fear it will advan-
tago the opposed political party!
We believe that modern Democracy in
Delaware has gone away ahead of such
meanness, such contemplate un-American-
ism.
AS true Americans, above all party ties,
issues, or considerations let us say, if inJus-
tice be done, let it Immediately be undone!
I,et us remember the old school proverb fiat
jltstitia, ruat cOeltm.
But there is really no ground for trepida-
tion. there is no cause for asking the heaV-
ems to fall on us. Honest and true and In
dependent Democracy is all safe in Della
ware. We do not believe in Republican
majority in this State under the fullest con-
cessions that party may, ask. But we do
believe in giving to our political opponents
all those constitutional rights to which they
are fully entitled, equally with Democrats.
In other words we believe in fair play. And
this is not tall talk or braggadocio, 1t is SIM
ply sound Jeffersoniau doctrine.
Also we do not tremble before snpposi-
tions buggaboos. We do not believe that
the Diamond State will be lost to the fol :
lowers of Thomas Jefferson if our new con-
stitution, which we hope by the aid of all
honest citizens of this State will soon be the
law that governs New Castle, Sussex and
Kent, says that our judges shall be elected
by the people. We are not afraid that will
endanger Democratic principles. We have a
kind of suspicion that it is what our patron
saint taught us is right, and in that teach
ing we shall not go far wrong.

The Left Hand.

1
Why not train the left hand as
well as the right one, so that if either
be the recipient of an injury, the
other may carry ON all the functions
possible for one hand to do unaid-
ed
Such course would often save us
from spending months of valuable
time in the tedious task of educa-
ting muscles and bringing them un-
der subjugation to the will after
they have become hard and stub
born by reason of age, training that
should have been and could easily
have been accomplished in child
hood.
From home the child goes to
school, and here the same senseless
prejudice awaits him.
Through the dictates of instinct
or caprice, he holds the pen or cray
on in the forbidden left hand, and
his knuckles are sharply raped for
it.
Why not let him learn to write
and draw with both hands2
He would be free at any moment
to rest a hand exhausted by pro-
tracted use without any interruption
of his work.
We have frequently seen an arti-
san, whose ability to handle tools
with either hand as occasion de-
manded gave him constant advan-
tage over his one-tanded fellows not
only in the avoidance of fatigue, but
in the performance of nice work and
the overcoming of difficulties hard
to come at by those restricted to the
use of a single hand.
The right-hand man who can use
a hammar or knife readily with the
left hand, or can tie or unite knot
when his right hand is otherwise en-
gagged, will find frequent use for his
skill.
Indeed, the advantages we miss
through the non-cultivation of the
neglected member are infinite in
and of incessant occurrence.
Why should we pay such heavy
tribute to a ridiculous custom ?
The Wilmingtonian., 1887-09-17
The Gamblers Waterloo.

What EUery BDening accomplished Tu s.
day last was the.most exceptionally,c lean-cut
piece of work ever witnessed in this city.
The story of it reads like novel. The
undertaking was carefully conceived and
brilliantly executed. That one of our jour
mails should sedulOusly devote itself to the
work, by its own individual expenditure of
time and money, of uprooting the most stu
pendous social iniquity that has cursed this
community is extremely gratifying to Will
mingtonians. Praise and admiration is on
every decent citizens tongue for this swift
aud terrific blow upon the hydra headed pest.
No degree of expression of praise stoo much
for such good work so well done by our es-
teemed contemporary. In one word the COM
munity is delighted over the welcome dis
covery of the fact that there exists in our
midst SO much of public-spiritedness and
high-class enterprise, and all the more that il
is found in direction where no pecuniary
solatium is or can be received for the large
expenditure that the undertaking involved.
The effort has been made solely in the
cause of law and order. If it be true as we
have all been taught that it is right and
honorable to sacrifice ones life for one's
country-then next to it comes the de-
served credit for making sacrifices for the
common veal.
This latter B0e1y E0ening has dene, and
for it that journal has the thanks of the
community.
The gamblers are in jail or banishment,
dispersed and scared like an affrighted covey
of partridge.
1t is understood that for the suggestion,
initiation and brilliant consummation OF
the undertaking our esteemed contemporary
is largely indebted to its able City Editor,
Mr.. J.Barton Cheyney.
We congratulate that gentleman upon the
fattering success which has attended an un-
dertaking not only difficult but which from
the time of its inception to the very moment
of its test was a problem attended not alone
with great hazard but with conditions of
possible personal peril.

The High School Muddle.

The only important evidence yet adduced
III the High School investigation is that
strange disorder has existed unrepressed by
Principal Graham. Also that there has
been extreme laxity in the hearing of recita-
tions. But these accusations have yet to be
rebutted by testimony in the defence.
1t really seems that we are at the vest-
bule only of an intermina bic succession of
apparently contradictory testimony. When
the end will be or what 1t will be it is diff
cult to conjecture.
One point must always be borne in mind,
however, that the investigation bears upon
the great question of the public good. All
things must be sacrificed as far as they bear
in the direction of private or individual in
terests to that end.

Interesting to Sportsmen.

By strict attention to business, by fair
ness, by cleverness, by intelligence and by
amiability, Hartlove's gun store, at the
northeast corner of Third and French
streets, now commands the trade in sports
mems and the cunning business. Hart
loves store is conveniently situated for
sportsmen who travel on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
the Wilmington aud Northern Railroad and
to all other railways centreing around the
p, W. &c B. station.
1t is not unusual to see half dozen
sportsmen coDgregated at Hartlove's gun
depot talking over the varied merits Of the
newest style of gun and rifle. The sports
man who goes to William H. Hartlove's
store s sure to find anything and every
thing that he may want from hook for a
fishing line to a fine grade OF breech- loading
gun or rifle. Mr.. Hartlove holds his bust
ness as much through his courtesy to his
customers as through his thorough knowl-
edge of their every need which is provided
for by the most varied stock of sporting
goods to be found in any store in this Sec
tion of the country outside the city of Phila-
delphia. By all means give Mr.. Hsrtlove a
call. He cordially invites everybody to call
and examine his goods, even if they do not
buy.
His speciality at this moment is new
cunning coat of his own invention, light,
strong and pleasant to wear. 1t has all the
appurtenances that the regular sportsman
needs--pockets for shells, game, etc. 1t is
adorned with corduroy collars and cuffs-is
an extremely cheap COATS the finest in the
market, and has already secured large
sale.

Crowds at Saratoga.

So we wended our way some further on
amongst the dense crowd, only more crowd
cd and more denser, and anon, if not oftener
Josiah's head would be seooped in by pass
In parasols, and then in low, deep tones,
Josiah would use words that l wouldn't re-
peat for dollar bill, till at last l asked a
bystander staudiu' by, and sez l, SIS this
village all built together-don't you have no
streets turin off of itp"
"Yes," sez he, "you'll find a street jest as
soon as get by this hotel"
stopped right in my tracts, I wuz dumb
foundered. Sez 1, "Do you mean to say
that this hull side of the street that we have
been traversin' anon, or long before anon,
do you say that this is all one buildin,P"
eyes mom," sez he.
Sez I, in faint axents, "When shall we get
to the end on itP"
sez he, "You have come jest about half
way"
Josiah gin deep groan and turned him
round in his tracts, and sez Lies 90 back
this minute"
l too thought of the quiet haven from
whence we had set out, with deep longin'
but sech is the force and strength of my
that grasped holt of the situation and held
it there tight. If we wuz half way acrost it
wouldn't be no further to go on than it
would to go back. Such wuz my intellect
that see it to once, but Josah's mind
couldn't grasp it, and with words murmur-
ed in my ears which will never repeat to a
liyin' soul he wended on by my side through
tho same old erowd-parasols, and wimmep
and dogs, and babies, and men, and parasols,
and Injuns, and Spannards, and U.eoles, aud
pretty girls, and old wimmen, and FUCKERS.
and gethers, and bracelets, and diamonds,
and lace, and parasols. Several times, IL
not more, wuz Josiah Allen scooped in by a
psrasol held by female, and felt be wuz
liable to be tore from me. His weight is
but small. times his hat fell off in the
operation and was reskued with difficulty.
and he spoke words blush to recall as hav-
in passed pardner's lips.
Wall, in the fullness of time, or little
after, for truly wuz not in condition to
sense things much, we arrove at street
and we gladly turned our frames into it,
and wended our way on it, goin' at a pretty
good jog.-From Samantha at Saratoga;

Delaware Pulpit Oratory.

We noticed last week the compliment paid
tho Rev. l. NJ. Haldeman in Evcrs EOentng's S
European correspondence in comparing that
clergyman's pulpit oratory to that of the
great Spurgeon with the greater praise to the
Wilmiugtonian, and now this week we see
another Deawarean, the Rev. ]. S. Willis,
of Milford, preaching by request in that
fame of classic speech, Plymouth Church, on
Sunday last.
Really it seems that Delaware does not
half appreciate the ability of her rsons. Truly,
ga prophet is not without honor save in his
own country"
The Wilmingtonian., 1887-09-17

ston infers that these distinctive features,
which we all know are borrowed from the
old English custom of territorial and par
ochial subdivision, are, in the cases of the
different States referred to, the bases upon
which the various State communities do,
and aught to be allowed to continue to work
out their individual phase of destiny, ac-
cordingly as those social aud traditional
features impress them.
But, the curious question arises, as to the
development of communities such as are
found in England, where 1f5eounty govern
ment, the hundred government, and the
parish or psrochial government are all found
lhterlaoed within the same territorial and
municipal bounds, as, for instance, in York
shire, Northumberland, Durham, and many
other English counties. The Delaware
''hundred" came from England as did the
Louisiana parish" and the Virginia
County" 1t may be parenthically remark
ed that although Louisiana was not per-
manently, (or in It's greater degree of social
traditions) settled by Anglo-Saxons, and
that local geographical terminology is large
ly French or Spanish, the term "parish''
definitely exists in preference to Its French
equivalent which, one would naturally sup
pose should have been the name.
In England too the curious fact, in regard
to this question, is witnessed of section OF
one county or parish isolated entirely, and
found pumped into the middle Of It's neigh.
Dor, For instance, few acres of the
county of Rutland may be found in the mid
die Of the county of Lincolnshire. The
same with parishes. But each isolated bit
owes no county or parocbisl allegiance to
the government surrounding it but to its
mother county or parish,
